I was thinking it would be nice to develop an application that would allow someone to quickly tell who lives close to whom in a ward.
This would be useful for hometeaching and visiting teaching assignments, esp. with the rising costs of transportation. While this might not be a big deal in areas with high Mormon population densities, it does play a role in other areas where members of a ward can be spread out over many miles. So the way I would envision it is that the program first creates a database with all families. Then using a utility (example --> http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/convert?form=address ) is able to assign a GPS location to each house based on the address. Then when the user calls upon a name, you could see how many families lived within a specified radius. I have zero programming experience, so I'm afraid I can do no more than suggest this idea and participate in testing. I take that back. I did a semester of fortran some 15 years ago, but I don't think that counts. :) Arthur _______________________________________________ Ldsoss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ldsoss.org/mailman/listinfo/ldsoss
